If you have a friend with a “known good” carb you can borrow....... you could try it and see if the problem went away or not.
If it acts the same, it’s unlikely a carb issue(and I don’t think it is).
Yeah, unfortunately I don't think it's the carb either, although taking it back to base line won't hurt.
Dwayne, you suspect the springs ? Even with my mild cam and rockers? And only at 4,000, rpm ? I' m gonna dig into the cap and rotor first and see if that helps.
Thanks for all the input and ideas everyone.👍
